2025/26 David Moyes

Not for West Ham. He’s actually their best ever manager in the top flight (excluding cups) manager. Even their best ever managers (Lyall, Greenwood) never had such consistently high finishes in the division.

That perhaps says more about West Ham than anything else mind! In fact, if anything, West Ham have just reverted to the mean.

I think Moyes can really take the club back where it should be - challenging for European finishes.

We should be looking to win one of the domestic cups , if Palace can do it why cant Everton.

They have had more investment than previous eras , Moyes got them mostly within that envelope expectation that the outlay suggested.
I know a lot of match going West Ham fans and there view mirrors exactly what many of my fellow Evertonians think , he’s good and effective up to point , but the style of football grinds you down in the end , and progression stalls .
But as your name suggests we will never see eye to eye on this .
Our views are diametrically opposed.
Vive le difference !!😁 ( or something like that . My German is far better than my French ! 🤣)

Investment doesn’t really mean much. Their facilities are light years behind and their stadium is a soulless dump. They have to spend more on fees and wages as they are so unattractive.

And there is no way their team, even with Rice, Bowen, etc is as good as their 60s team with Hurst and Moore or the teams with Brooking and Bonds, or the team that came close to winning the league with Cottee, McAvennie, etc.

Moyes is a decent manager...but with him winning the mickey mouse competition with by far the best squad of that tournament that year, I have a feeling at times that he thinks he is the second coming or something like that. How dare are those players rejecting the club after having a conversation with him...how dare are people leaking information without his say...yes he was very good at times with us previously, but he hasn't won a trophy in England ever...perhaps he needs to show a bit more humility and more accountability. He is, like the recruitment team, also responsible for the current state of the squad. Let's hope he can turn it around in the next 2 weeks...

Christ , he can't win.
Either he is too humble , and the knife to a gunfire mob resurface , or he is now a self perceived second coming.
He is absolutely the best manager we could have got in the circumstances.

I think you are overly generous as I am overly harsh.
The truth as always , lies somewhere in between .
Moyes is a good solid mid table PL manager .
He is generally good at keeping a team where its value suggests it should be .
He may occasionally breach that envelope of expectation by a small amount , mostly a few places upward occasionally downward .
But what he most definitely isn’t is inspired .
You get what it says on the tin , solid , dependable .
The difference in the football we played when Martinez took over his team was marked , the ‘School of Science ‘ banners in the St were celebrations of the return of enjoyment and pride in an Everton side that had palpably gone missing during most of Moyes long tenure.
As an observation , isn’t it odd how his teams habitually only play well for half a season ?
Guess we were lucky we got the ‘good half ‘ last season .😁

Have a look at his track record here mate.
Despite a minimal net spend , we were regularly above "mid table". Please don't rewrite history.

Haha
You mean the team that won the World Cup for ingurlund ?🤣
Good team like .
But not even close to our teams of the day under Catterick ( backed by the wealth of J. Moores ).
